Comprehensive in scope, the film covers games from all genres and platforms, from the late 1950s into modern times. Featuring interviews with industry greats such as Nolan Bushnell (Atari), John Romero (<i>Doom</i>), David Crane (<i>Pitfall!</i>), Steve Meretzky (<i>Planetfall</i>), Todd Howard (<i>Fallout 3</i>), and John Smedley (<i>EverQuest</i>) - plus many others - <i>Gameplay</i> offers an in-depth look at the industry that has redefined popular entertainment. The film explores the impact of mega-hits such as Atari's <i>Pong</i>, Nintendo's <i>Super Mario Bros.</i>, and Blizzard’s <i>World of Warcraft</i>, as well as the role played by revolutionary technologies like the CD-ROM and the Internet. Loaded with high-quality clips from hundreds of vintage and modern games, <i>Gameplay</i> is a film no gamer can resist. </p>
<p>The film is being written and produced for <i><a href=http://www.luxdigitalpictures.com>Lux Digital Pictures</a></i> by Bill Loguidice and Matt Barton, authors of <i>Vintage Games: An Insider Look at the History of Grand Theft Auto, Super Mario, and the Most Influential Games of All Time</i> (Focal Press, 2009), <i>Dungeons &amp; Desktops: The History of Computer Role-Playing Games</i> (A.K. Peters, 2008), and <i>Wii Fitness for Dummies</i> (Wiley, 2010). Matt and Bill are also the founders of <i>Armchair Arcade</i>, recognized by <i>PC Magazine</i> as one if its Top 100 Websites. <i>Lux Digital Pictures</i> has produced several recent, critically acclaimed documentaries, including <i>Nightmares in Red, White, and Blue</i> and <i>American Grindhouse</i>, which covers the history of horror and exploitation films, respectively. While <i>Gameplay</i> naturally touches upon controversial topics such as violence and sex in games, the overall tone is overwhelmingly positive. Lifelong, passionate gamers themselves, Barton and Loguidice are committed to ensuring accuracy, fairness, and integrity in all the topics covered in the film. </p>
